I'm surprised no one mention what I feel as the major difference between the two systems is that roto (unless your in a league that you know everyone) is a little boring, it drags along, whereas H2H is something new each week, its not as "slow" feeling. With that being said I like the roto style more but it is definately more fun if you know eveyone in your league.

A ROTO winner is always the better team whereas a H2H winner isn't always.

the main difference, and I think it is the biggest difference, is owner participation. Most people who hate Roto, hate it becuase many owners stop playing when it gets toward the middle/end of the season. those who are out are out and they pretty much know it.

with H2H there is a new game each week, there is more excitement toward the end and owners don't realize how horrible thier team actually is.

I would prefer Roto as well, but both of my money leagues are H2H. If you can get into a really good roto league you will love it.

I like the idea of a ladder system. It would just be really tough to put together and organize (BCS: rating systems cause drama). Lots of people play in multiple leagues too, probably resulting in focus on their bragging rights and money leagues more than a ratings league.

Try to get on the good sides of the regulars so that maybe you get an invite to a solid Cafe league. I know a lot of Cafe leagues were put together last March too, many with people who had only been around the Cafe for a few weeks.

I didn't talk a ton (well maybe I did ) about the NL-only Cafe league that wveres put together and I participated in last season, but I think I earned a smidgen of respect in it. This might be the closest you can get to a Cafe ladder system. Just stick around and I am sure people with similar interests can be found, ready to unite.
